Writing to Learn Mathematics: A Mixed Method Study This study sought to address a research gap by studying students who had been
taught mathematics using writing. The purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of students’ perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of this pedagogical approach. The types of writing students performed in mathematics classes were described, and students’ preferences regarding these tasks were analyzed. Finally, a comparison was made between female and male students’ responses in order to see whether genAuthor(s): Reilly, Edel

Dealing with abstraction: case study generalisation as a method for eliciting design patterns Developing a pattern language is a non-trivial problem. A critical requirement is a method to support pattern writers with abstraction, so as they can produce generalised patterns. In this paper, we address this issue by developing a structured process of generalisation. It is important that this process is initiated through engaging participants in identifying initial patterns, i.e. directly dealing with the 'cold-start' problem. We have found that short case study descriptions provide a producAuthor(s): Winters Niall,Mor Yishay

Integration of adaptive learning processes with IMS Learning Design considering corporate requiremen D1.11 deals with standards and integration, especially with four topics: IMS Learning Design, Adaptation, Integration and Corporate Requirements. It attempts to emphasize the needed relationship among them in order to improve the personalized learning. Based on academic research, our findings take also into account the specific features of corporations. D1.11 is closely related to D1.10, where several taxonomies of learning processes and learning categories are presented, which are used in D1.11Author(s): Burgos Daniel,Naeve AmbjÃ¶rn,Kravcik Milos,Cristea

Why Web 2.0 is Good for Learning and for Research: Principles and Prototypes The term "Web 2.0" is used to describe applications that distinguish themselves from previous generations of software by a number of principles. Existing work shows that Web 2.0 applications can be successfully exploited for technology-enhance learning. However, in-depth analyses of the relationship between Web 2.0 technology on the one hand and teaching and learning on the other hand are still rare. In this article, we will analyze the technological principles of the Web 2.0 and describe theiAuthor(s): Ullrich Carsten,Borau Kerstin,Luo Heng,Tan Xiaohon
